Show HN: CrowdRank – live leaderboards for internet arguments

Hacker News - Thu, 05/14/2026 - 7:19am

Hi HN. I built CrowdRank, a small web app where people vote through head-to-head matchups and the results become a live leaderboard.

Backstory:

A few years ago, while I was learning to code, I wanted to build a Tinder-style voting app to rank the funniest characters from The Office. I hit a lot of dead ends, mostly on the frontend, and abandoned it.

Now with a bit more technical background i rebuilt the idea as a more general platform. The backend/API is Laravel, and I used AI heavily to help build the frontend because somehow centering a div still finds ways to humble me.

What did I end up building?

A web based platform for ranking candidates inside different topics. There are no community-created topics yet. For now, I seeded a bunch of debates and used an Elo style ranking system, similar to chess ratings, to build a live leaderboard for each debate.

No signup is needed to try it.

A few example debates:

- who’s actually funny in The Office? (of course)

- programming language that sparks the most arguments

- app you would never delete from your phone

Stack: Laravel, Blade, Postgres, Filament for admin, and React for the swipe/tap voting page.

I’d appreciate feedback on:

- does this even make sense?

- does the voting loop feel fun or annoying?

- do the leaderboard/result pages make sense?

- does the content feel too broad?

- what debates would actually be interesting to vote on?

Non-interactive Claude Code usage ejected from subscriptions

Hacker News - Thu, 05/14/2026 - 6:18am

Received via email:

Starting June 15, Pro plan subscribers can claim a $20 monthly credit for using the Claude Agent SDK and claude -p, including third-party tools built on the Agent SDK. As part of this change, Agent SDK and other programmatic usage will run on this credit, and will not impact your subscription limits. This includes third-party applications built on the Agent SDK. If you use your full Agent SDK credit in a given month, continued use will draw from extra usage, which can be manually enabled and disabled. Your subscription usage limits don’t change. They stay reserved for interactive usage of Claude Code, Claude Cowork, and chat. See the Help Center for more details.
